There is a well-defined dispute settlement process. No longer can the unilateral actions of strong economies interfere with the exports of medium sized powers in the world. It is a great step forward.</p>\n<p>As Canadians we have to be very competitive in using this opportunity before we can benefit from this agreement. There is no other way out. In order to remain economically strong and in order to keep all of our integrity and all the values we need to be able to compete in the global market. If we can have a free hand to compete in the world, if subsidies are eliminated from most of the other countries, even in the farming industry we should be able to compete proudly and freely.</p>",
